Neither have PR departments and advertising companies. I recall seeing old ads from the 1930s advertising gramophones - the ones that played acetate records through acoustic horns - claiming they sounded so close to real life one would have trouble distinguishing the two. Look at the RCA Victor symbol, the dog (was his name Topper?) hearing "his master's voice" from the gramophone which was obviously so near reality even with his keen hearing Topper couldn't tell. Whatever the current technology is will always be touted as "near perfect" - when it never is. cheers, frank -- "Sharpness is a bourgeois concept." -Henri Cartier-Bresson -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
